Sizes of Gaylord Boxes We Accept

Buyers look for a variety of box sizes. Listing the correct dimensions helps connect you with the right customers. Here are the most in-demand sizes:

• 40” x 40” x 36” – A standard size, ideal for medium-load shipments.
• 48” x 40” x 36” – Popular among warehouses and manufacturers.
• 48” x 40” x 42” – Slightly taller for high-volume storage needs.
• 48” x 40” x 48” – Used in industrial and recycling operations.
• 48” x 40” x 60” – Deep, high-capacity for bulk material handling.

The strength and thickness of their cardboard walls Gaylord Boxes :

1. Single-Wall Gaylord Boxes - These have standard thickness. They work well for lighter loads and general use.
2. Double-Wall Gaylord Boxes have two layers of corrugated material. This design boosts strength, making them ideal for medium to heavy loads.
3. Triple-Wall Gaylord Boxes (Tri-Wall) - These boxes have three layers of corrugated material. This design offers maximum strength for heavy items and is great for stacking.
4. Heavy-Duty Gaylord Boxes have stronger corners and edges. They also have thicker walls.

ECT (Edge Crush Test) Rated Gaylord Boxes

These boxes have specific strength ratings, like 32 ECT or 44 ECT. These ratings show how much stacking pressure each box can handle.

• 32 ECT - Basic strength: Typically suitable for loads up to 30-35 pounds. Appropriate for lightweight items, paper products, or clothing.
• 44 ECT - Medium strength: Can handle loads between 35-65 pounds. Common for general shipping purposes, household goods, and medium-weight products.
• 48 ECT - Enhanced strength: Suitable for loads between 65-95 pounds. Used for heavier consumer products, machine parts, and denser materials.
• 51 ECT - Heavy-duty applications: Can support loads between 95-120 pounds. Appropriate for automotive parts, hardware, and other heavy industrial components.
• 71 ECT and above - Maximum strength: Designed for loads exceeding 120 pounds, sometimes up to 300+ pounds depending on box construction and dimensions. Used for very heavy machinery parts, metal components, and bulk materials.

Types of Corrugated Flutes (Wave Profiles)

The size and shape of the flute affect strength:

1. A-flute (0.189-0.217 inches): high cushioning, good compression strength
2. B-flute (0.094-0.118 inches): strength, better printing surface, moderate cushioning
3. C-flute (0.142-0.157 inches): balance between A and B, universal application
4. E-flute (0.043-0.071 inches): thin profile, flat surface, for small items
5. F-flute (0.030-0.035 inches): ultra-thin profile for small packages
6. BC-flute: combination of B and C flutes for enhanced strength
7. EB-flute: combination of E and B flutes for balance of strength and printing properties

Number of Flute Layers

1. Single wall (2 layers of paper, 1 layer of flute)
2. Double wall (3 layers of paper, 2 layers of flute)
3. Triple wall (4 layers of paper, 3 layers of flute)
4. Multi-wall (5+ layers of paper, 4+ layers of flute)

Paper Density

Measured in pounds per thousand square feet (lbs/MSF):

• Liner: 26-90 lbs/MSF
• Fluting (corrugated layer): 23-36 lbs/MSF

The higher the density, the stronger the cardboard, but also heavier and more expensive.
